This is a fantastic recipe, though it could use a little help. If you follow it exactly, you will not remember to put your honey in, and your mix will be far too dry (if you're using heavy whipping cream especially). Double the liquid for heavy, make it a cup if it's milk. Honey when you liquid.

Hi!I'm French, so I had to convert the ingredients units. And I'm not a great cook too, but the result is very good!However, could you please help me? The baking powder didn't "work" and I couldn't put the whole milk otherwise it would have been too sticky. So it's more like a biscuit than a bread.

The dough came out kind of sticky, so I had trouble getting it into square shapes, and I ended up just dropping the dough onto the pan. But they turned out fantastic! Smells like a cookie, tastes like a shortbread, and my family loves them! I did have to use quite a bit more milk/heavy cream though.
